[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't go anywhere near River Road usually so I have no idea where the change is taking place. but here are just my impression of limits and driver behaviour. The only deterrence of reckless speeding is the actual precense of enforcement mechanisms rather than speed limit signage.  Tickets are being issues doesn't mean people are slowing down.  IMO, the best deterrence is just placing a blatant camera on that stretch near the school.  [/quote]

Now that the speed is lowered to 35, they are able to set cameras.  I bet cameras are coming![/quote]

There's a lot of jackasses taking their sports cars on River Road late at night and early mornings on the weekend. My retired FIL blasts his Porsche on that stretch of road. The change is direly needed.[/quote]

I'd be ok with cameras, but the speed limit really should be 45 given the road.  The accidents have been when people have been grossly speeding, in one case over 100 mph.  This change won't stop that; it just gives cops an excuse to ticket people who are driving in a perfectly safe manner.[/quote]

River Road is a residential street. People's driveways empty out directly onto the road. Further, it's impossible for those residents exit their driveways to see speeding cars coming around the turns.

I'm fine with 35 mph and ticket cameras. Idiots won't change their ways until the fines accumulate.[/quote]
